AiMMot t tt/k USED MANY MODES OF TRANSPORT ATIOM Suburbanite Has ExcitinM Time in One Day. j "The youtiger generation, and pro)>? ably moot of the older people who liav<fl gone about to any extent In recent? years, take modern traveling facllltldfl as a matter of Course and give little oil no thought to the marvels of transpor tation today," reflected the suburbanite, "and most of us go through our dally trips to business and elsewhere so me-, elianlcally that we fail to realize fully how remarkably diverse are the pres r ent-day means of passenger convey ance. ? . , "A man will think nothing nowadays of riding In a variety of vehicles In the course of a single day, from an ele: vator to a subway, being .carried along ? theN surface* of the grpund, above It or under the surface *nd utilising several grinds power. But ?n experience I had opt lung ago' made me realize more than, most of us .do, or than I probabljn would have. otherwise, how wonderful ly diverse are the means o( travel available to the people of today. /In one day I rode on the surface of the earth, under the ground and the Hudson river as well, and also flew aboye the earth, being transported In trolleys, electric trains, steam trains, automobiles and an airplane, and em ployed the advantages of three types of gpwer which play such Important parts In the daily fife of most of 'us ? electric, gasoline and steam. "I started out In the morning from my home In northern New Jersey and walked a short distance to a trolley line, then boarding a trolley car In which I was cetrrled, tyy electric power, over the surface of the ground to a Hudson tube station. There' I got on an electric tirMd which transported me along (he surface. Later I changed to another which took me through an un covered depression, sped along a sub terranean passage, through, a tunnel beneath the Hudson river, and to the Pennsylvania .station, iNew York. "There ^ changed to another train which traveled underground for a dis tance, being drawn at first by electric power. Afterward It rose t<i the imp-, face, and, , the locomotive having been changed, took me the rest bf the dis tance to Mlneoln, L. I., above' the ground ? by steam power, . "At the railroad station in Ktlneola I got in a taxlcab, which, b/ still another kind of power? gasolln^? transported me to MItebel field. "There I hopped 'off in an airplane which, al*> using gasoline, of course, bore me back Over much of the same, route I had followed to the field, with some deviation*: soared over the com? munlty In which I live?almost above my own bouse? and then flew back to iu^startlng point. "Later I returned, to toy home by the same kinds of conveyances I had em ployed on my trip fo the flying field. Impressed with the marvelous trans" portatlon facilities available to modern' people "as' I only could have^ been by ,Suel} an experience." . ,1 Rialto Bridge The Rlalto*brfdge Is a famous mar ble bridge across the "Grand canal In Venice, built by Oiovjtnnl 'da Ponte ta ,1500.., It consists of q single arch, 90 feet wide and 24 feet high, and rests upon 12,000 piles. The name Rialto IsN derived from Rivo-Alto, one of the i islands on which yenlce is bnllfc This island was long the financial and com imerclal center of the city, and gave Its name to the bridge that connects it with the mainland. There was situ ated the exchange; and It Is probably to that building (and ' not to the bridge) that Shakespeare refers 19 his comedy of "The Merchant of Venice." "Slgnor AntOnlo, many a time and oft, In the Rialto you have rated me Abput' my money and my usances ; . 8 till I have borne it with a patient shrug For suffering Is. the badge of all our tribe." ' Bell Shattered Window $ A church In Cincinnati, Ohio, claims to hsive the largest bell ' In America and, next to one In Moscow, the largest one In the world. This bell Is 10 feet In diameter and* 12 feet high and It W.elghs {80,000 pounds. Yrhen It was hung a number of years ago Its deep tones shattered windows In nearby buildings, and threatened to shake the supporting tower to pieces. Since then no one has dared to ring It It Is sounded by tapping It with a hammer. Sounds thus produced are no louder than those from smaller bells. Rung In the regular manner Its peals. In the tone of E-flat, could be beard over a radius of 15 miles. Rough and Rocky ' Tourist ? I thought you said this was a good trail, a path of romance? Tomaso^? Well, It be so, ain't It? Tourist ?

Don't Let That Cold Turn Into "Fin" Rub on Good Old Muittrola That cold may turn into "Flu," Grippe or, even worse, Pneumonia, unless you take care of it at once. Rub good old Musterole on the con gested parts and see how quickly it brings relief. Colds are merely congestion. Mus terole, made from pure oil of mustard, camphor, menthol and other simple ingredients, is a counter-irritant which stimulates circulation and helps break up the cold. As effective as the messy old mustard plaster, does the work without blister. Just rub it on with your finger-tips. You will feel a warm tingle as it enters the pores, then a cooling sensation that brings welcome relief. To Motheru Musterole Is now made In milder form for babies and small children. Ask for Children's Musterole. 35c and 65c, in jars and tubes. Bttfr than a mat lard platttr * N. b . CHARLOTTE. NO. 14-1924.
